Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa opined that the Pakistan cricket team could even lose a match against Ireland in the T20 World Cup 2024 scheduled to start from June 2 in the USA and West Indies. The 38-year-old batter reckoned that their fielding will be the main reason for their loss against Ireland at the marquee event.
Pakistan's recent loss in a T20I match against Ireland raised the eyebrows of cricket experts. However, the side won that three-match series by 2-1.
Robin Uthappa on Pakistan Cricket
"For me, I think it is definitely someone like the opening batters, Barbernie and Sterling. They are high-quality players. I think Stirling is someone who is quite underrated. Goes around the world playing league cricket and goes about his business in a very stellar fashion. I think he plays cricket very, very well. Just his approach to cricket is very good. Locan Tucker is also a solid bat. Wicket-keeper. Has consistently performed well," he said on the T20 WC Curtain Raiser: Associate Players Watch’ show on YouTube.

“It’s just that Pakistan have been one of those teams where, in a tournament, especially in an ICC tournament, they have always been upset by somebody. There is one of those games. See, their fielding has been particularly iffy at all times. we have seen it in the latest Asia Cup that even happened. I think, across time, in fact, Pakistan’s fielding has been very shady in that sense. So I think, one of those games will happen where they will not turn up. I feel a team like Ireland can certainly upset them,” Uthappa concluded.
Pakistan recently featured in the T20I series against England where Babar Azam and Co. lost the match by 2-0. Now both teams will travel to USA to start their World Cup Campaign.
Pakistan will play their tournament opener clash against the United States on June 6 at Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas. Men in Green will face Ireland for match no 36 which will take place at the Central Broward Stadium, Lauderhill Florida on June 16.
On the other hand, Ireland will play their World Cup opener clash against India on June 5 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
